602 and counting!

If we didn't already know Marino Rivera was the greatest closer, since saves became an official stat in 1969, he passed Trevor Hoffman (601) to become the all-time saves leader (602) yesterday.  Since Marino took over the closers role in 1996 he has been lights out.  When the Yankees have a ninth inning lead you don't worry when Mo comes into a game, you say to yourself Mo's in he'll get the job done, your shocked when he doesn't.  The 602 doesn't count his remarkable 42 postseason saves.  No other active relief pitcher has close to 602 saves.  Mo is the best relief pitcher in history and we we will never see another one like him.
